Time Out
"In a city awash with faux deco and incongruous nods to the style, the Chatwal New York opened in August 2010 in a Stanford White building whose interior art deco restoration is pitch perfect." Full review

"Stanford White's Lambs Club becomes posh playpen. Sky's the limit for prices, but then they're hooking up suites and apartments in addition to standard luxury rooms."

Michelin Guide
"The Mercer stood out from the crowd and inspired plenty of copycats. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but there's still only one Mercer hotel."
Frommer's
"Once inside, there is a pronounced calm... The hotel is a perfect complement to the scene outside your big window." Full review
Concierge
"You never know who you're going to see at the Mercer or what you'll see them do."
Fodor's
"The Mercer is superbly situated in the heart of SoHo's myriad name-brand stores, although you wouldn't know it once you're inside the lobby, a minimalist oasis." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Right in the heart of SoHo’s brick lanes, the grand Mercer is where stars sleep." Full review
